You'll love the next CycleChat Investigates thread then;

He can terrorise them all he likes, but just leave Maisie* and myself alone, thanks!

I'd actually feel sorry for Spring-Heeled Jack if he landed on Accy's roof. Imagine the telling off and walking stick waving he'd receive!

When I was younger (OK - a lot younger) I read several article that scientifically investigated the events and concluded that it really happened
personally I think the word "scientifically" is doing rather too much heavy lifting in these cases
but it did seem like several people who had a decent brain looked at in independently and said that the people did seem to have suddenly burst into flame for no apparent reason
one person said that the combustion seemed to be different to someone who had had their clothing catch fire or been covered with a flamable liquid because they seemed to have been burnt from the inside rather than skin inwards
which could be bollox of course
but there was a video of a performed in a night club suddenly catching fire which seemed convincing at the time
I mean - stage lights, 1970's costumes , drugs, drink
Nah - no other reason there mate must have been SC

If I remember rightly, the leading scientific theory involved people with considerable body fat, low 02 levels in the room and "wicking". Essentially your "falling asleep in nylon clothes with a lit cigarette" option, but with a slow burn after.

Confirmation that CycleChat remains the choice of the cerebral cyclist.

If it were a thing, why do funeral directors charge so much for a cremation? Several hours at Regulo 6000, when you apparently could do the same job by just lighting a toenail with a match. Sounds as good a conspiracy theory as any, to me. What Scientists Don't want You To Know! Humans Are Highly Flammable! Don't Light That Fart! etc.

My father tells us that when he dies, he wants to be left on the garage roof for the birds to peck away at his carcass.
It's an interesting thought, but I somehow doubt the neighbours will think the same! 😂

If his cholesterol is high enough he can go in the cage for the budgies to peck on.

Yeah, it's just a pity the authorities tend to be so creepy about holding onto bodies, preventing you from doing creative and useful things with your dead relatives, isn't it?
